So I finally got the time to go get a new huff tube. After I ran the tube, I tried starting it again. It kicked over and started on about the third try. But like before, oil came out of the tube and all over the floor. Lots of oil. After i cleaned up, I tried it again to see if more oil would come out. Some did but it stopped almost immediately. I let it idle for a moment, adjusting the idle screw a little bit. No more oil came out of the tube and it seemed to idle just fine. I only let it run for about a minute, maybe less.

So My question is: Could all of that oil had been because I had over filled it before and this was just the excess being blown out? It didnt smell like gas when I was cleaning it up or when I open the oil cap.

I went out earlier and started it again, because I want to put the seat back on and roll it outside. When I did more oil came out for a few seconds and it was hard to start, but after a few tries the oil stopped and it idled just fine. I wasnt expecting the oil so it got all over the wrap around the exhaust pipe, and it just about smoked me out of my garage. I was worried the smoke was coming from somewhere else, but after I cut the wrap off it looked like there was just oil on it.

So the plan from here is: to clean the exhaust and get a new wrap, look for a new battery cover because the one I have doesnt seem to fit the battery box, and decide if I want to take it to a tire shop to balance the wheels because my friend took out the back axle and replaced it with the BCB extended axle.

Fair enough, he just mentioned something about it. I wont worry about it then lol

unless it's bent  

Ok, I wont worry about the back axle because it doesnt seem to be bent or messed up. I just dont 100% trust my buddy to follow through on some things, I mean he didnt even put the entire BCB kit on it lol.

I went out and fired it up again, because honestly, I'm glad to have it running lol. But when I got on, pulled the clutch in and put it into first, it died. I wasnt going to try and ride it anywhere, I was just curious about the gears, because it only seems to have 3 gears when my buddy would go through the shifting when not running. Does that make sense? Now this could just be my personal ignorance though because.... I dont have my license yet, I have been waiting to get the money and to get my Savage running before I took the class and get my stamp. So Im not sure if its a problem or if its just me not doing it right....

What would cause it to die when I put it in gear? That cant be normal right? Or am I just such a newbie, that I'm not doing it right?

Ok, I tried putting the kickstand up and it would still die when i put it in gear. BUT I tried a few more times and it wouldnt die, sometimes with, sometimes without putting the stand up. Again, I dont know if thats just a newbie thing or a mechanical thing.

I was also taking a look around the site and I saw an article about the mixture screw. I took a quick look at it today and I dont see where it is on  my carb. It is idling a bit rough, will that help it idle smoother?

I think Versy is onto something,,IF the added load of spinning the clutch guts in gear make it die, it runnin too low.

Low idle = low oil pressure = DESTROYEDHead.
But hey,, it sounds good.,,.
